In an extensive article on the June 5th CA Primary ballot, the Martinez News-Gazette commented recently that Nils Palsson is THE challenger in this race to unseat 10-term establishment incumbent Mike Thompson.

Palsson has joined with Florida independent candidate for Congress Tim Canova and over 60 other candidates for federal office in signing a candidate contract committing these public servants to taking concrete action to eliminate corruption and create a more transparent and accountable government, including overturning Citizens United and linking Congressional salary to the median household income in America.

This campaign is honored to have been endorsed by a growing number of local civic groups, including Our Revolution North Bay and Our Revolution West Marin. Palsson, an elected Bernie Sanders Delegate in 2016, is running on a platform of social, racial, environmental and economic justice for ALL.

Article on Nils Palsson featured in the Benicia Herald: "Two years after placing third in the congressional primary for California’s 5th District, Sonoma County teacher and nonprofit communications director Nils Palsson is giving it another go."
